[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hinged lid crock pot worked well. I liked that I was able to lift the lid and not have to find a place to place the lid when I needed to open the crock pot. One possible disadvantage to this is it was to talk with the lid lifted to fit under my kitchen cabinets. If this was out in an open space it would be perfect. When I cooked with this crock pot it made my food dry. I think this may have been from the lack of moisture used. Overall this was a good crock pot and I would recommend it to my friends. I received this as a sample to review.
Pros: good concept, keeps lid clean and counter dry
Cons: may be too tall for kitchen cabinets
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your feedback as it is greatly appreciated. We are constantly working on improving our products and will forward your comments to our product team. We do recommend that you always fill your slow cooker at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the way full, with at least one cup of liquid or sauce, and you may also have to adjust your cook times accordingly. This will prevent the food from drying out and burning.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the size of this crock pot . It was the perfect size to make pulled pork for a party. I love the hinged lid as well, just wished it locked for easier travel with food.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really enjoyed using the hinged lid slow cooker so far! It is a great size for making meals for the whole family. My favorite feature is the spoon rest--a little notch in the ceramic dish that allows a spoon to remain upright in the dish while the lid is closed. The hinged lid is also a unique and fun feature. It seems like it will be especially handy for events when people will be eating in shifts or snacking over period of time (maybe at a Super Bowl party or church potluck). The lid can be lifted while one person serves him or herself and then lowered easily to keep the contents warm until the next person is ready. The other thing that I like about the hinged lid is that it eliminates the need to find a place to put the crock pot lid while the contents are being served. While finding a place to put the lid is not a huge deal, it is convenient to not need to find one, and it is nice to have the lid stay connected to the pot.
One feature that I wish this slow cooker had was a programmable timer that automatically switched the setting to warm once the cooking time was complete. Not an absolutely vital feature but one that I find very helpful. The other tricky thing that I have found when using this slow cooker is that the condensation that forms on the lid during cooking tends to drip into the dish while the lid is propped open. For most dishes, I don't see this as being a big problem. When I made bread in the crock pot, I placed paper towels over the top of the crock pot and under the lid and that caught most of the condensation and prevented it from dripping onto the bread.
Overall, a really great item to have in the kitchen! I did receive a sample of this product in order to make this review.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this crock pot. The sample I received was black and it was a beautiful color. The oval shape was different for me but I liked it better than my round crock pots. It was easy to clean. I tried many foods in it. The food came out great. The hinge on the top seems very sturdy. I just hope after many uses the hinge stays as strong as it is now. I give it four out of five stars. Kay
Pros: the oval design was great, the color was beautiful, the foods cooked great, the hinge seems very sturdy
Cons: i hope the hinge stays sturdy after many uses
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love to cook but, I work long hours and I'm exhausted when I get home. As soon as it arrived I ripped open the box and gave it a good bath then started getting my ingredients ready. When everything was ready I put the crock bowl in the refrigerator and waited till it was time to go to bed to start cooking. Turns out this was a HUGE mistake. 6 hours later I woke to the smell of Pork roast and my stomach was rumbling and I never eat breakfast! Any way the guys at work loved it. The bones fell off the meat and the potatoes and carrots were great. I’ve had it for a month now and use it at least twice a week. So far I’ve made Pork roast, Beef roast, Chicken soup (several varieties), Beef stew, Buffalo cheese dip, chili no bean dip and jambalaya. I love that you can remove the crock bowl and refrigerate your leftovers and it makes clean up so much easier. The hinged lid is perfect for limited space and no more balancing a hot glass lid upside down. I received this hinged crock pot as a sample to review and I Love it !!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hinge lid slow cooker is a great idea for people in small spaces. It helped me out by giving me a place to hold the lid when I needed to check the food and stir the food, however it also poses a small problem because when you open the lid it sends steam right to your face. But it is good quality and I enjoyed using this slow cooker. Disclaimer: I was sent this as a product testing.
I recommend the 6 Quart Hinged Lid Crock Pot Slow Cooker to everyone looking for a crock pot that makes cooking easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the 6 Quart Hinged Lid Slow Cooker Crock Pot numerous times and this product has exceeded my expectations. The one unique feature of this product is the hinged lid. This makes it much easier to cook with. Instead of lifting off the lid and setting in down on the counter, I can simply flip up the lid in place and I can stir, or add to, or taste the food inside. No more messy countertops from the lid.
I am also impressed with the lightweight hinged lid that doesnt need to be clamped into place when opperating. My previous slow cooker has two clamps that need to be locked into place each time I used it.
Cleanup of the 6 Quart Hinged Lid Slow Cooker is easy. The lightweight Hinged Lid simply lifts off the crockpot.
I recieved this product free as part of a sample group.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This slow cooker is great for preparing larger meals due to it's 6-qt. capacity. It's easy to clean and tote around if needed. The only concerns I had was the quality of the temperature knob, it felt a little poorly constructed. The lid doesn't fit, opened, under lower kitchen cupboards. And just a safety concern is to always wear a hot glove when opening the lid or there is the possibility of being burned by steam escaping. Over all this is a great product. Disclaimer: We received this product as a sample for review
Pros: easy to clean, great for taking to family gatherings (portability, large enough for any slow cooker recipe
Cons: temperature knob feels like it could break easily, had to wear a hot glove when opening lid, opened lid doesn't fit under some kitchen cabinets
